This research seeks to examine, and provide a theoretical grounding for, those dimensions that prospectively characterize the construct of relational listening. First, a rationale for examining relational listening is provided. Second, an account analysis utilizing data from 123 relational dyads was conducted to examine the relational nature of listening. Third, a grounded theoretical model of relational listening is introduced. Finally, implications from introducing a grounded theoretical model of relational listening are discussed. Assessing relational listening provides communication scholars the opportunity to identify those implicit, taken-for-granted, assumptions that prospectively govern everyday relational interaction.
